Editorial interest 72/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

BrewByte describes a modular, open-source control system for home breweries, built around ESP32 nodes communicating over a CAN bus.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: Technical homebrewers who want to build their own controls
Worth noticing: The homepage says each node keeps working on its own and points to a CAN protocol, address plan, and DEV node documentation.

Field notes

The architecture is presented as a set of task-specific ESP32 nodes on a CAN bus, with a gateway for a phone or computer overview. The site points to a protocol, address plan, DIY recipes, software downloads with SHA256 checksums, and browser-based firmware flashing. Its build log currently includes a placeholder entry, so the supplied homepage evidence does not establish how complete those linked resources or capabilities are.
